Spector cited ongoing AI-driven fiber growth as the primary driver behind the upgrade. He noted that data centers are requiring between four to 16 times more fiber content, a trend that is expected to continue as next-generation processors become more prevalent. Corning, as the leading producer of fiber optics, is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend [1].
In addition to AI, Spector identified other growth opportunities for Corning. He highlighted the company's significant presence in the U.S. solar market, where Corning has secured approximately 80% of restarted capacity over the next five years. This could boost annual sales by roughly $1.5 billion [1]. Spector also mentioned growth opportunities in specialty, life sciences, and automotive segments, as well as potential new applications for Corning's glass products in touchscreen panels and energy-efficient windows [1].
Shares of Corning have surged 41% in 2025, with the stock climbing more than 1% following the rating change. The upgrade from UBS is expected to prompt further investor focus on the technology company, which is poised to benefit from the ongoing AI revolution [2].
